(rare) Erotic attraction of a woman or older female toward young girls..
It seems safe to assume that the panelists were referring to (pick your term) man–boy love, pederasty, ephebophilia. They may also have been referring to korephilia (woman–girl) and (looking internationally) may have been referring to paedophilia, since Dutch reformers seem to have seized on this term to refer to all inter-generational sex.
How many posts about korephilia are being made to already existing newsgroups at the moment?
Unlike pedophilia, which defines adult male or female attraction to a prepubescent girl or boy under thirteen, and korephilia, which denotes adult female attraction to girls, pederasty specifically defines emotional, intimate, and physical adult male attraction to teenage boys.
Contemporary pederasty and korephilia differ from classical norms in that the younger partner may…take sexual initiative rather than be passive in serving the pleasures of the older partner.
Paedophilia and korephilia, respectively adult male and female ‘sexual love directed towards children…in pre-puberty and early adolescence’ (PIE 1978), have been openly championed by various organisations in the recent past.
